Former Juventus, Inter and Milan midfielder Edgar Davids has exclusively told Goal.com his Champions League and World Cup predictions in a 360 degree interview, in which he also touched upon his new-found love for street soccer.

Davids, who spent most of his career in Serie A with the big three, now spends much of his time playing street football.

He has revealed players like Ronaldinho, Cristiano Ronaldo and Zlatan Ibrahimovic would be in his street team, and believes Spain have a big shout for the World Cup.

In addition, he thinks Inter can finally win the Champions League after a 45-year drought.

Goal.com caught up with the ace who continues to gander at the world game.

"The World Cup? I can see Spain doing really well, but we must not forget the big teams from South America and Europe. We should also keep an eye on the Ivory Coast," Davids told Goal.com.

"As for the Champions League? I want the most spectacular team to win that. I think Inter can win the Champions League as they have a very competitive squad. As for Milan, they are an institution who always aim for the top."

Street soccer involves skill, speed and panache - things Davids displayed as a midfielder. He showed he hasn't lost those traits as he fired back quick answers when asked who would play for his ideal side.

"Ronaldinho would be in my team as he knows the spectacle of football. Robinho, Ibrahimovic, Cristiano Ronaldo and [Robin] van Persie would also be in it," concluded the Dutchman.
